“@raines1220 LiDAR also does not work well in snow, rain or dust due to reflection scatter. That’s why Waymos stop working in any heavy precipitation. As I have said many times, there is a role for LiDAR in some circumstances and I personally oversaw the development of LiDAR for the SpaceX”
“@WholeMarsBlog @Gfilche There will be lots of technical detail & cool hardware demos”
“RT @cb_doge: BREAKING: SpaceX is deploying Starlink kits to aid communication in the affected regions in Thailand and Myanmar. https://t.co…”
“@Erdayastronaut @CopSub In our experience, COPV gain/pain flattens out above 6000 psi and is <1 above 10,000 psi, unless volume constrained like Dragon. Heating from pressurization & cooling from depressurization also become major problems at very high pressure.”
“@GailAlfarATX Starship has 33 engines! If an engine failure is isolated, then many engines greatly increases reliability (Starship only loses <3% of thrust). If not, then reliability is terrible. The difference is at least 2 orders of magnitude.”
“@teslaownersSV @BillyM2k @WholeMarsBlog It sure is hard to find a news source that’s accurate, relevant & not totally depressing! Old-school version of The Economist & Jon Stewart Daily Show / Colbert Report were great.”
“@PPathole @Rainmaker1973 The amazing part will be having an orbital rocket that is fully & rapidly reusable with any payload at all! Everyone else gave up when they realized that their fully reusable payload<0. We still have a long way to go.”
“@DimaZeniuk @SpaceX @SirineAti @captainarve @andst7 @WholeMarsBlog @EvasTeslaSPlaid @GailAlfarATX @JaneidyEve @TeslaAIBot @1stMarsColonist And we need to add 3 more Raptor Vacuum engines, because it’s inevitable”

“@rustyrockets @shellenberger @mtaibbi @rumblevideo Good question”
“@GailAlfarATX @WholeMarsBlog Actually, April 7th”
“@prmshra Don’t be silly. I oversaw the SpaceX engineering team that built the Dragon LiDARs used to dock with @Space_Station! They are simply the wrong solution for a complex terrestrial road system that was designed for biological neural nets and eyes. Therefore the right, imo only,…”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX All of that and more. We’re doing a broad review of launch site, propulsion, structures, avionics, range & regulatory constraints this weekend. I will also be at the Cape next week to review hardware in person.”
“@TaiigerBlue @Tesla @omarsultan @pauljamil @WholeMarsBlog @slye @JohnnaCrider1 @teslaownersSV @tesla_raj @Manic_Marge It’s awesome”

“@spideycyp_155 @FedorovMykhailo @SpaceX There are some active terminals”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Aim for zero velocity just above surface & fall. You won’t fall fast.”
“@ajtourville @SpaceX A truly reusable orbital-entry-class heat shield is the single biggest technology problem remaining”
“@cnunezimages A super reliable, light, reusable heat shield is the biggest technical challenge remaining for Starship”
“The AEI meeting wasn't secret and I was only there for a few hours to talk about Mars and sustainable energy. Nothing to do with Trump.”
“Can't wait to see all three cores of Falcon Heavy come back for landings! First two will be almost simultaneous. https://t.co/ryMiewZM4L http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/space/go-for-launch/os-spacex-landing-pads-space-coast-20160718-story.html”
“@ConfuEth @WholeMarsBlog @StuartZuckerma1 Tesla AI/Autopilot could probably beat the best human around a track already. Eventually, it really won’t be a contest at all. Human reflexes cannot match machines.”
“Aiming for Falcon rocket static fire at Cape Canaveral on the 16th and launch about three days later”
“@SciGuySpace It’s a step in the right direction, but they should really aim for full reusability by 2026. Larger rocket would also make sense for literal economies of scale. Goal should be to minimize cost per useful ton to orbit or it will at best serve a niche market.”
“@torybruno Your company said the exact opposite in 2014 when it got a sole-source, uncompeted $11B DoD launch contract. https://t.co/Abd5sWhZDt In any event, expendable rockets are as relevant to the future as expendable aircraft. Rapidly reusable rockets are all that matter. https://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/home/spacenews/files/042914_ula_blockbuy.html”
“@iamtomnash The Fox anchor is talking utter nonsense. I challenged Putin to a physical fight over Ukraine and SpaceX and provided massive support to Ukraine, as the Ukrainian government has repeatedly acknowledged.”
“@DimaZeniuk Slightly different variants of stainless alloys are used in the rocket and truck, but pretty close overall”
“@Kristennetten @StianWalgermo @Tesla @ARKInvest @WholeMarsBlog @alex_avoigt @Teslarati @TeslaPodcast @mortenlund89 I was in the Berlin paint shop talking to the team on my last visit. It’s gonna be great! But bear in mind that it takes about a year for a new factory to reach volume production. Production is super hard work, which is why I have great respect for those who do it.”
“@rmcentush Starship could deliver 100GW/year to high Earth orbit within 4 to 5 years if we can solve the other parts of the equation. 100TW/year is possible from a lunar base producing solar-powered AI satellites locally and accelerating them to escape velocity with a mass driver.”
“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck is intentionally an insane technology bandwagon”
“@ajtourville The main reason for coming in belly first is due to the subsonic orientation being a natural outcome of the center of mass and center of pressure being where they are needed for Starship to survive hypersonic heating by maintaining a ~70 degree angle of attack. Can’t come in…”
“@SawyerMerritt Starlink team is working hard to ensure an amazing Internet connectivity experience for Hawaiian Airlines flyers. Should be profound and feel you’re on the ground, not even in an airplane.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @wintonARK Waitlist is too long. Will enable again as we ramp production.”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @GailAlfarATX @Tesla @EvaFoxU @Proxima06_Aiai @DBurkland @lewins_ian @Lstad78 @1stMarsColonist @JosephVVallace @dubbleotrippleo No, I meant wide release to high safety score beta participants. Going to all beta participants is expected later this year.”

“@CdeCiencia First flight for Falcon Heavy Block 5 means there is some risk of failure between 5% to 10% imo. Many good design improvements from Falcon Heavy demo, but the changes are unproven.”
“@Erdayastronaut A booster catch attempt is highly likely this year. For the ship, we need to be sure that it will survive reentry and retain aero control authority, so that means at least 2 successes landing at a precise point in the ocean.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla is waiting for EU approval (sigh)”
“@Austen A surprising number of people don’t understand what a profound level unlock full reusability is. It is the holy grail of rocketry and the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary. Starship is designed for full & rapid reusability – launch, land, refill…”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship isn’t using AI to land. Code written by engineers. 🤯🤯🤯 It’ll take us to Mars https://t.co/DhgAS2FwKd”
“@planet4589 @VirtuallyNathan Lot of new technology in Starlink V2, so we’re experiencing some issues, as expected. Some sats will be deorbited, others will be tested thoroughly before raising altitude above Space Station.”
“@BRO_SPI_Airport @SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Sounds good, we will send one over”
“@SciGuySpace Yes, detailed review of the first orbital Starship, explaining the pros & cons of each design decision”
“@abhiyogi Slight chance of Starship flight to Mars crewed by Optimus in Nov/Dec next year. A lot needs to go right for that. More likely, first flight without humans in ~3.5 years, next flight ~5.5 years with humans. Mars city self-sustaining in 20 to 30 years.”

“@BBCWorld Moreover, based on extensive cave video review & discussion with several divers who know journey, SpaceX engineering is absolutely certain that mini-sub can do entire journey & demonstrate at any time.”
